Epson EcoTank Pro ET-16650 Wireless Wide-format Color All-in-One Supertank Printer

Almost 5 years and still going strong, Got it in April 2020, and we have printed over 65,000 pages. 28,000 + Color and 36,500+ Black and White. We have bought the standard inks and maintenance cartridges, sometime the printer does updates and then all the computers need firmware updates and sometimes it has a bad day and we unplug it and the routers. But overall for a small scale office this has been a great printer.

I have had this ET-16650 printer for over 2 years now and I am on my 3rd set of ink. I have not had any issues with it. I had to replace the waste tank once. I am in construction and print 11x17 plan sets all the time. Still happy with my purchase. I will say a couple of times I have had issues with the Wi-Fi internet set up but have been able to keep it working. Use the scanner tool all the time to Scan marked up drawings and it works well.

We've had this printer for 22 months. It's worked moderately well, but it's been pretty temperamental and has wasted a fair amount of paper, time, and ink through the process of keeping it clean and getting it to print documents and brochures the way we want them to look. I attribute most of those issues to Epson's clunky software, and we've managed to work around the majority of the kinks. After all that, we have come to rely on the printer to produce marketing materials for our real estate business. HOWEVER, we have just run into a show-stopper of a problem. Apparently, this thing has something called a borderless printing ink pad which is now at the end of its service life. On the ET-16650, this is NOT a user-replaceable part, so our only choice is to send to Epson for them to replace the ink pad. To their credit, they won't be charging us for the shipping in either direction and the charge for the repair won't break the bank, but we'll need to be without our printer for at least a month and that's not really a viable option for us. So, the moral of the story is this: only buy this printer if you can afford to be without it for a month or so every couple of years in order to have the borderless ink pad replaced. Of course, if you never use it for borderless printing, this probably won't be an issue for you. But since that's the main reason we purchased it, it's a real deal-breaker for us.

I have owned Epson printers for decades...and, they last that long too! So when it came time to replace my older WF7510, I selected another Epson product, the EcoTank Pro. It packs a tremendous amount of functionality into a compact, modern design. Seeing it up was fairly easy and it prints vibrant color lightning fast! I am beyond pleased!

I have used this printer for 2 years now in my small construction business. I print drawings from this printer on 11 x 17 all the time. I am now starting my third set of ink after 12,986 pages printed. I have had very little trouble with this printer and it is still going strong. I also use it a lot for scanning drawings using the feed tray for all sizes. i have not had very many miss feeds. Most of this was from me pulling a staple out and the pages were kind of stuck because of the paper damaged by the staple. All of the feed mechanisms are still working great and do not squeak. My biggest problem has been printer connection to my computer using WIFI. most of the time I have it connected from my computer to the printer. It just works faster.

Dripping Ink onto the paper

The software and drivers installed fine and it is working as expected. I haven't got to testing the photo quality, but the regular documentation has good colors and crisp print. 1/2 the ink dissappeared on initial set up; could this be partially due to priming the dry printer? One disappointment: when document scanning, it doesn't scan to PDF as a native format. I assumed that this would be a business class printer, but PDF scanning is a must have feature that is sorely missing. Maybe Epson can add this with a firmware revision in the future?

Wonderful printer

Long time Epson fan and bought this printer in August. 6 mths later, I am just ordering ink for the first time and I do a lot of printing. It has performed great except for the 13x19 paper in the rear paper tray. It really just does not feed through reliably and is really quite a pain. Also, I am having trouble figuring our the "Free Ink for 2 Years". I registered immediately and I find info about the deal but not actually how to activate or take part. (I'm still looking)

I just bought this because it said it was a Wide-format all-in-one printer, and could print 13x19. I do 80% of my printing on13x19 and the other 20% is 8.5x1. this looked like it would be the perfect replacement. I had a WF-7720 all-in-one wide-format printer, and have had it for years. It was a dream, (well I don't want to say I dream about a printer) it was a workhorse and reliable. but, alas as all good things come to an end, it was having problems with paper feeding. I was needing to replace it, this ET-16650 looked like it would do the job. it has the same basic title "Wide-Format All-in-one" and on the box it said could print 13x19. I figured it would work exactly like the previous one. So far, out of the box, it is not. I have a useless tray... the 13x19 doesn't get loaded into one, I have to feed into the back of the printer. the first day printing has found that this isn't very reliable. it makes me sad, love is not something i can say about a printer but the WF-7720 I didn't have to think about it. you loaded the trays with the two different sizes they were designed for. the papers both that the machine could print on, and that was it. sure, it would beep when it was out of paper or ink, that was to be expected. Now I find myself having to fuss over the ingestion of each page the machine needs, some of witch it decides it needs many more than just one at a time. others it just doesn't like at all. I generally don't write reviews much but being that I'm standing over the first of many 70+ books of plans to print out and am needing something mindles to do while i constantly fuss over the printer, I found I had the time.

Bought this 2 years ago and it works like a charm. I've had zero issues and omg the savings on ink is incredible. The best office equipment investment I've ever made.

Very satisfied with this printer so far! I purchased this printer as a general purpose office printer for printing everything from documents to photos to brochures, as well as full duplex copying and scanning. Everything I've done with the printer so far as absolutely met my expectations. The ink tank design is an absolute God send. As many others have said, the ink seems to last forever. For the price of this all-in-one printer, scanner, copier, I personally feel that it is a tremendous value, especially given that you can print up to 13"x19". The printer is very fast and quite at printing documents that are mostly text, and typical print speed for color photos and things that are mostly image based. Thus far I have no complaints whatsoever with this unit.

Awesome Printer

We print sheet music and this printer is great for both 8.5 x 11 and 11 x 17 prints. Color and black and white!

print quality, when it works, is excellent. the software could be a lot better especially maintenance followed by networking (printer that is). disappointment: had printer for three weeks and it needed a nozzle clean. twice to clear whatever blocked cyan. seems you MUST do a nozzle check t make sure printing comes out OK. After having printer for three weeks? i guess there is no factory printer head alignment. once all that done, print quality is excellent.

As far as a printer it is great! Would love for it to scan to OneNote.

As described easy to set up works awesome for my application.

Good printer but the ink it’s not enough for a quantity of page that is announced.

As with any Epson printers quality of prints is good, but printers quality is terrible. Constant issues with head cloging. Amount of ink wasted cleaning heads is unbelivable. Print quality is ok and very fast. Problem is that head claning is needed often and after 8 days I already have ink smages on the pages. I would not recommend.

I need a high-quality printer for my business. This is excellent quality, fast and versatile at a low cost per page. Great choice - couldn't be happier.
